dismissed EB-1A Case: Folk Dance
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence for the claimed criteria. For the awards criterion, the petitioner submitted a third-party letter instead of primary evidence, and other commendations were only for local recognition. For the published material criterion, the evidence was insufficient as the publications were not established as major media, an article translation was incomplete, and another article was not primarily about the petitioner.
Criteria Discussed
Receipt Of Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Published Material About The Alien In Professional Or Major Trade Publications Or Other Major Media
